Porgie didn't sleep through the night until she was a year. And now I think Izzy is headed down the same path. We have to get together and bitch! I know all about sleep deprivation.

Try playing with the duration of the naps a bit to see how they effect the sleep. Keep a sleep diary. I've managed to get a whole extra half hour of sleep some nights with careful finagling. (I know, I'm a loser. :)) BTW- calorie weighting works wonders (sort of) :) Schedule is also pretty good- the important parts of the schedule are ironically waking the child up at the same time every day (even if you let him go back to sleep for a nap a half hour later), making sure the house is dark and quiet for the hour before bedtime, and making sure the baby is getting enough naps during the day- but not *too long* naps.

AND he's not teething. He just likes to wake up and pick on me and nurse more since he's too busy playing during the day. He's a big fan of sleep-nursing. And he's almost 13 months old. I figure he'll learn to go to sleep and stay asleep when he's ready to go to sleep and stay asleep. Self soothing is a natural behavior same as crawling and walking and babies achieve it at their own pace. IMO forcing the issue just makes the child less likely to self soothe. If you need to force the issue sometimes for your own sanity that's one thing. If you're just forcing it out of fear and guilt at the idea of him never learning to self soothe... Chill, woman! :) You're a great mom and you're intuitively interacting with your child and reading his cues and helping him learn to live, and teaching him that he's not alone in life.

I have had a night like that, i was sat emailling you last night just before bed and he was fast on..... then i closed my eyes and he woke, off he went back to sleep and took me hours to get back to sleep and within 10mins he was up again! Feel bad grumbling as hes so unwell but i seriously think you can handle anything so long as you have had sleep, so i am there with you! Yup i agree you compain all you like!
